- How long have you use it?
For several hours, after almost two months waiting for it to be finally available ...

- What is so special that you like most and least?
As my predecessor, I fell in love with the design of the beast, his pace is very robust, only the set that weighs heavily in the hands gives an impression of the finishing machine pro (and it's not an impression! ).
Another feature I like because I speak of the plateau, is obviously very, very compelling feature scratch. No complaints at this level, I am not disappointed (in fact I was a little afraid of the effect of latency direct drive ...), I think is a more undeniable, and torque set is no exception. So of course, as has been noted on the previous opinion, all vinyl effects are not reproducible on this board (or on any other cd deck in my opinion ...), point diamond placed in the hollow of a groove here, this should explain it, and the specificity of vinyl should ensure its continuity with the emergence of digital material. This feature aside, this does not prevent you from making phrases scratch very good, you just need to be aware of what is lost (and what we earn) through the support CD .
Another promising feature of this machine is certainly the memo function (among other things is this feature which would have decided to choose this model), but I have not really had the opportunity to explore. The two points of hot starts are among the features which I will now find it difficult to do without, not to mention the 15-second sampler pitchable that provides a real plus in a game live ...

The only real special feature of the DN-S3500 which I'm not really sure is the hit of the buttons Play, Cue, etc ... This is certainly a matter of habit, but for now I just feel like sinking into the rubber ... This detail seems particularly troublesome in the famous hot start buttons that do not always like clockwork, but this problem should be solved by updating the system of the plate ... Another little thing a little disturbing is the inability to use simple playback deck, without having to deal with timing cue .. (Unless it is an adjustment to the memos, it remains to be seen ...).

I have not talked effects (echo, echo loop, flanger and filter), which according to the use made of it can be good tools, especially the echo stalled tempo and looped through the sampler ...

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
No, I did not have equivalent models of the hands before the denon. The only platinum cd I have also owned, was the pioneer CDJ100 of which was an excellent product, but it's still day and night ...

- How would you rate the quality / price?
After getting started, I think it's a good report, the design is serious and it seems solid (at least I hope!).

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Undoubtedly, there are even a second chance to come sit with this one ...

To make a short summary, I will say that the handling of the machine is very intuitive, despite the profusion of pots and advanced features. The work area was well designed, and I think the buttons on hot starts could not be better housed than in the upper part (questions for this game between the start and scratch ...). Excellent product.

PS: something I forgot to mention is the sound quality, because even if I do not have a high-end installation (it's the least I can say :-(), the dynamics and clarity of the sound seemed to me very convincing ...
